The Friday Five

It’s Friday! Another week in 2018 has gone by. With the wind, cold and rain, not to mention sleet and snow, I feel like Autumn is rapidly on it’s way out, and winter is on its way in!

So as the week ends here are this week Friday Five!

1. The temperatures have dropped and when I walked the doggies this morning it was 33 degrees! The wind was blowing and I felt like I had stepped into midwinter! In fact, I plan to get out my winter jacket and hat and gloves. It’s time to make those changes in the closet.
2. It’s also time to get the air conditioners out of the windows. I need to call our neighbor and arrange for him to come on over to give us a hand. Those window units are really heavy and Jack and I have a hard time with them.
3. After several weeks of frustration, I think I have finally figured out the new thermostats.  It was not easy.
   * I read the manual and that was no help at all.
   * I went on YouTube, and other people with this system, detest these units.
   * I knew, however, if I just kept trying I could figure it out.
   * Why does the heat stay on and not shut off? What was I missing?
   Well, I was missing setting the shut off temperature on the until. It’s called “COOL“. The reason I missed that was that we do not have any air condition system set to these thermostats.
   I needed to set the cool temperature to the same temperature as the heat setting. Then when the heat turned on and raised the temperature to say, 72 degrees, once it got there, the cool setting kicks in and shuts off the system. Sound complicated? It is, but once I figured that out it seems to work just fine!
   This kept me contemplating the problem for the last month!  However, the problem is now solved!
4. One of my dearest friends had a Big Birthday yesterday. Jack and I called and sang Happy Birthday to her, in harmony no less! I do wish we lived closer to her! Happy Birthday again, Candy!
5. We’re still working on Dackel Princess. Fine tuning her. We will be putting in a comment button and I hope to get the header taken care of too. The biggest problem, corrupted code, has been solved by my friend and super-girl, Megan! She also has come up with the new design! Thank you so much, Megan!

So have a great weekend everyone, enjoy the Autumn or Spring if you are in the Southern Hemisphere!
